[theclaud]

I had you in mind tbh . I believe Teef fell off on the way to the station once as well.

Disgraceful.

 

[Aperitif]

Disgraceful.

Yes, Claudine - disgraceful. It was at least twice.
And Whitstable.
A few times.
It's hard work being the life and..ah...soul of the party.

Sadly, I've had some bad news so I'm out of this one. Apologetic email sent. Have fun, it looks like you'll have good weather for it.

I have had a thought, which has probably already occurred to @redfalo. Maybe we shouldn't be too leisurely in order to get to Wetherspoons at opening time, because arriving later at the Beacon will mean more traffic to contend with there.

Go like the clappers through the night, arriving at Brighton good and early. Swim in the oggin then brekko at Mr. Spoon's establishment.

(I dreamt about this ride last night. We were somehow off route riding down what may have been the M23. Part of the group (the women riders) were seen some distance away on the correct route. We had to clamber over a chain link fence to get back on track. All the while I knew of a better way to go).

Good point....if we're there at half seven (and that is not usual for a Brighton run) having got up the Beacon when it's quiet, no problem to wait/swim/go for additional pootle etc.

You're right, it won't be a long wait.
I don't swim though. And I don't swim in the sea. And I definitely don't swim in the sea anywhere near West Street early on a Saturday morning.

Me neither (can't swim).

Good point indeed. So far, I thought about leaving Gatwick 4am-ish, which would mean that we are approaching Beacon a tad after 6am-ish. This won't be too late, will it?

Not so much swimming as just going through the motions. (I've done the sewer tour)

Me neither (can't swim).

Take care crossing fords is my advice.
